The Third Army Corps liberated Nove, Ridkodub, and Katerynivka while retaking Karpivka and Novomykhailivka, inflicting 2,000 Russian casualties and capturing over 250 soldiers.

Ukrainian forces from the Third Army Corps have liberated the settlements of Nove, Ridkodub, and Katerynivka while restoring control over Karpivka and Novomykhailivka, according to a military report released Thursday. The operation inflicted approximately 2,000 Russian casualties and resulted in the capture of more than 250 Russian soldiers.
The advance reclaims 51 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, bringing the total regained since offensive operations began to 176 square kilometers. Nove served as the primary objective of the third phase of Operation "Vivaldi," functioning as a critical enemy hub on the bridgehead where Russian forces had concentrated logistics and command elements.
Control of the heights surrounding Nove determines operational initiative across the entire bridgehead, making its capture strategically decisive for shaping further advances. "The enemy was deceived and slept through the real strike," the report stated, describing the tactical surprise achieved through effective deception measures.
The latest gains consolidate Ukrainian positions in the sector and demonstrate continued momentum in the ongoing counteroffensive efforts along this front line, with the Third Army Corps playing a leading role in the operation's execution.
